Evo 2020 is heading online after Las Vegas event cancelled

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this year's fighting event is going digital instead.

Evo 2020, this year's iteration of the annual fighting event, has been cancelled and will no longer take place in Las Vegas around July 31 - August 2 as initially planned, but event organisers are intending on holding the event online instead, with details still to come. Here's the official statement:

Due to COVID-19, we are sadly cancelling Evo 2020 at Mandalay Bay and refunding all purchased tickets.

But to keep the Evo spirit alive, we're bringing the event online this summer. More information coming soon!

The health and well-being of our community is our highest priority. We hope everyone stays safe during this time.

This year's event had already raised some eyebrows with the omission of Mortal Kombat 11 from the line-up, which you can read more about here.
